elysium got a good concept but a very very bad execution i rate it 2/10.........the elysium itself has zero defense anyone can penetrate there airspace and the entire Elysium gets taken down by just 3 soldier WTF.....
I really appreciated this movie.. It indirectly shows what is happening in our world- the widening gap between the rich and poor, medication and protection only for the wealthy, how the poor have to struggle to find even a mediocre job.. The action scenes were awesome (that rail gun was exquisite).. The ending was heart-warming.. Above all, I especially liked Kruger's funny dialogues... I give it 9/10.
I don't get why people hate this movie. I thought the plot was intriguing and the characters were so interesting. This movie deserved its Awesometacular rating by JeremyJahns.
Probably because it was an allegory for our current world. Just like District 9. These concepts hit very close to home and play on very real fears we have about the future....and really the present as well.
If I didn't know that this was directed by Neil Blomkamp, I would've sworn it was a James Cameron film. It really feels like an old-school Cameron film in the vein of Aliens and Terminator.
I've rewatched this movie about 4 times, and each time it delivers a deeper insight to me. Absolutely outstanding, many sociopolitical and economic themes in this movie not to be overseen. :) Plus, a kickass action hero, sci-fi, and robots !
***** Well, I don't mean the movie as a whole or the poor area, but the perfect, organized and neat world, where everyone can cover their needs. In comparison to South America, Canada is like that.

Just Blue Origin. Bezos wants orbital stations for the rich to escape climate change. Musk wants to colonize and mine the solar system to make humans multi planetary, and Branson wants to make a quick buck through suborbital tourism. The three projects have next to nothing in common.
@@alphapham2060 Surfboard rentals and deep sea drilling both involve the ocean, but I think it’d be fair to say the two industries have very little in common.
Something that I'm loving from Blompkamp's movies is that they contain some crazy overpowered futuristic guns. Portable surface-to-space missiles, chemrail gun, ARC Guns... They all look like videogame weapons and some may even be considered far fetched but turns out they're pure awesomeness once you see them in action. I hope this trend continues with his next film (known as "Chappie" for now and inspired by his short film titled "Tetra Vaal"), if the story allows for this kind of things.
This is what I loved about District 9 as well. All the action sequences were in daylight. And CGI was fantastic. This is going down the same path. Stoked.
This movie was surprisingly good. I actually enjoyed it more than District 9. The film demonstrates an important aspect of human technological progress, in that it matters a great deal WHO controls our technology base. We have the ability today to produce enough food for everyone to eat, but yet we still have millions in third-world countries who are starving and malnourished. We see absolutely fantastic technologies present in the film, but all this super-tech is controlled and accessed by only a slim and privileged fraction of the human race, namely Elysium. In both the film and our world, the benefit of technology is straddled by the presence of economic culture that diverts wealth and resources to a few and at the expense of others. Elysium has almost miraculous medical technology that can resolve a person of almost any illness or injury, but it is withheld from the majority of the population by the economic elites in Elysium. As in the scene where Frey pleads her doctor colleague for treatment for her terminally-ill daughter, the doctor replies "This isn't Elysium, we can't just heal her..." - Access to the life-saving technology is restricted by an X-amount of capital that supposedly represents the arbitrary cost of a human life. We see the same thing with health care in our own society. Is this good or bad? I think it's neither, since one can argue that without economic stipulation attached to the access of technology, there won't be any motivation or incentive to develop the technologies we have in the first place, life-saving or not. At least not with the current prevalent human mindset that revolves around us not willing do something unless there was self-enrichment attached. Watching Elysium continually puts questions in my mind; what are we as a species? Are we simply meant to be creatures of greed and self-indulgence? No matter how advance or expansive the human species becomes, are we doomed to continue such cycle of self-exploitation and stratification? Elysium is not a script-heavy dialogue of meaningful social issues, but instead a base visual landscape that provides a canvas for its audience to extrapolate their own interpretation of the film and its analogical premise. In that respect, I consider it a great film worth watching.
I had to comment as I think about this movie often! Hopefully this film does not predict out future! Lets put more love and less greed out in the world today ❤
***** Maybe it is if you don't think at all when you watch it. But if you keep analyzing it, it's not that great of a movie, the plot was extremely poorly written and the characters had shitty presentation and almost no development.
Everyone should be really scared that this is our future one day. Movies often times replicate our reality, our futures, etc. This is what will happen when AI and robots take all of the jobs sadly. I love science, tech, progress but we face a really big decision and people above us are going to make that decision for us. Once we open that box, it’s not going back into. Maybe we already have. Good movie though lol.
These kind of movies are made to shape our minds, so that we adapt to the new world while it all happens right in front of us. If it is completely new, humans will reject it but if the idea is already injected in small dose through entertainment we will passively accept it.
I disagree. This movie isn't a peek into a dystopian future. It represents today. It just gives stronger visual contrast than today to show how unfettered capitalism is screwing over everyone that isn't in the 1%. We already have billionaires launching into space while innocent children starve. It is already happening and unlike your prediction, humans aren't rejecting it. Not yet at least. That would be the goal though. Fight the system, not the movies that bring attention to it.
@@jadondrew1445 how beautiful it is to see two people having totally different POVs for the same movie.

galera, o filme é sensacional!! há mto tempo não saia do cinema tão feliz de ver um filme tão bom. nota 10!! já virou um dos meus filmes favoritos!
Just watched this film and I'm surprised how good it turned out to be. But what's funny is this showed exactly how immigration is today and how people in poor countries suffer while others are living lavish life's not needing to worry about anyone else!
"Is it going to be difficult breaking into the heavily guarded place in the universe?" "Not at all, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
This film deserved a lot more than what it got, the whole premise seems like what our future is turning to, although apart from the poor vs rich in this film, what I really focused on most was Medbay, the device that, despite being a film, is seen to use re-atomize through cellular regeneration to cure any and all illnesses to ailments, which through curiosity and research, I've seen comments from others that 8 years ago, we had a idea of how this could work, and now 8 years away from 2030, we maybe decades, if not years from unlocking the potential of Medbay from this film.
Great movie and script, I think that the relativy low succes was because most people didn´t get it, when they go to a theatre to watch a sci-fi movie they just want to see images made by computer and things exploting.
This was a good movie with a great scenario but the ending really felt to me like the director didn't know how to finish what he started so he gave it to a 12 year old to write the ending. Very disappointing for an otherwise very promising movie.
*Fantastic movie.* A grim look into the possibilities of what humanity could become if we continue to be ruled by sick, power hungry 'leaders.' Great use of film techniques and the interrelation between various scenes to create an emotional impact was very well done. *This film drew me right in. 8.5/10*
Just watched this film and I'm surprised how good it turned out to be. Out of all the scifi movies this is probably the most realestic future they've created compared to trying to reach a planet millions of years away or zombies! Lol
In my opinion, this is the way we live today. Earth is full of crime, (for us middle class and lower class) rich and famous people live like those in Elysium, (crime, poverty and war seem like a superstition to them) we separate ourselves like this, and no one seems to notice. So I thought I'd do you all a favor and open your eyes, and let the blind see, what our world is like.
Such an underrated movie!!!! I so hope they make a sequel to District 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Neill Blomkamp is a visionary director. Blomkamp needs to direct an Aliens' movie as well!
Anyone feel the world right now is becoming this? Rent going up. Massive homeless. Food prices rising. Fuel prices rising. Massive layoffs and strikes. Influx of immigrants at the border trying to cross in. Inflation that seems will never end.
Probably because Neil Blomkamp the Director of Elysium was supposed to make the Halo film which was cancelled so they made District 9 instead and This movie was a slap in the face to the people that didn't believe he could make this movie. That is why it resembles Halo.
i was gripped by the story when watching. i truly cared for the characters and needed to see how it would end. its been a while since i watched a movie and was that intrigued
Perfect movie! Not only because of Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 3 reference. But it shows 100% how the immigration works in European Union! Jodie Foster had a point somehow =)!
+Don Mega it shows a whole world that has been affected by uncontrolled immigration. It shows that it doesn't help anyone at the source and harms those in the country everyone is heading to. Like eternal life is going to improve anyones life in an out of control population! I believe it is misinterpreted. I am sure I have read an article by the director that hints towards the malthusian catastrophe depicted in the film....not a positive future as people somehow see in this film. They'll rejoice after destroying elysium, but what next...no one left to blame for their shitty predicament that still remains - but now it's everywhere!
ثالث فيلم مهم يبين ما يمكن أن يصير إليه الصراع الطبقي بين الأغنياء و الفقراء في أقصاه . الفيلم ماكينة الزمن time machine . وفيلم فوق-تحت upside down . وهذا الفيلم اليزيوم elysium . فإذا كان فيلم ماكينة الزمن يصل فيه الصراع بين الأغنياء المتمكنين و الفقراء المستضعفين إلى أن يصبح الأغنياء مفترسين prédateurs و الفقراء فراءس proies ، فإن هذا الفيلم و الفيلم upside down متشابهين إلى حد كبير حيث أن كل واحدة من الطبقتين تصبح تعيش في كوكب أو عالم خاص بها منفصل ماديا عن العالم أو الكوكب الذي تعيش فيه الاخرى .
Judging by the director I'll say I actually have high hopes for this film. A lot of sci-fi films have been real let-downs lately (Man of Steel being the biggest; without going into detail, I'll just say that my problem with it is that it's essentially an animated feature). This has the potential to be one of the best films of the year.
If people do not believe population can be an issue, then this movie will come true. Also diversity is overrated, it can be beautiful only if people have the same basic value.
Eminem suppose to be in the lead role in the movie not Matt Damon. The reason why eminem refuse to play the lead role because the movie wasn't film in Detroit and that's where eminem lives. In fact eminem chose Matt Damon to play the lead role.
JovanFB His acting wasn't good in that. It only seemed that way because it's basically his life story, and that's why he hasn't been in anything else worth mentioning. Also his rap music is crap. There hasn't been any good rap since OG Snoop's shit from back in the day.
It's 2154. Poor people overpopulated the Earth and turned it into garbage. Rich people left the Earth to live peacefully in outer space. Poor people try to illegally squat in Elysium. Damn squatters!
+rafarga1980 You sir have just pissed off all the professional squatters out there, including jobless adult bums who still live and squat in their parents homes. Hehehe.
In Elysium the movie takes place in year 2054. Life on Earth in Los Angeles looks like most of the citizens are refugees in what was a war zone. In the movie the Robots are programmed to manage the humans. Above Earth’s atmosphere Elysium is a large spacecraft with a large population of humans living in a civilized utopian habitat. Max is a parolee laborer in Los Angeles. Max accidentally gets exposed to a lethal amount of radiation at work and is given five days to live. Max bargains with a hacker who smuggles people in spacecrafts to Elysium where there are life saving medical bays. There are a lot of violent shoot outs between citizens of Earth and robots and a fight over organic brain data with the potential to overthrow the Government of Elysium I liked it😲
Insanely underrated sci-fi action. One of the best in 21 century

Thanks alot for the *SPOILER!!!*
🙄🙄
Thanks for the spoiler
@@goldenbunny9079 lmao sorry
@@Nahraf sorry xdd
I've seen it. Its one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies in the last decade.
Yes
Yea… sci fi….
elysium got a good concept but a very very bad execution i rate it 2/10.........the elysium itself has zero defense anyone can penetrate their airspace and the entire Elysium gets taken down by just 3 soldier WTF.....
1:22 pablo escobar is that you ?
it's the actor yeah DSNGUODS
Adil Y ele é um ator Brasileiro Wagner moura
naaa es de Calavera comando
no he is Che Gavuru
Oh yeah
I know there are a lot of people saying it was bad, but I loved it. And I'm one of those people who is super picky about every little detail about anything. If you like District 9, this is just as awesome.
galera, o filme é sensacional!! há mto tempo não saia do cinema tão feliz de ver um filme tão bom. nota 10!! já virou um dos meus filmes favoritos!
Just watched this film and I'm surprised how good it turned out to be. But what's funny is this showed exactly how immigration is today and how people in poor countries suffer while others are living lavish life's not needing to worry about anyone else!
underrated. hollywood rarely make movies like this anymore.
Pablo gets everything in the end. Well done Pablo.
"Is it going to be difficult breaking into the heavily guarded place in the universe?"
"Not at all, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
Literally one of the best films i have ever seen
This wasn't a movie this was a documentary of things to come.
I have to admit it,the soundtracks of this movie are beautiful
I hate the fact that this is possibly going to happen in the future.
This movie wasn't very subtle with it's message. Earth = United States, Elysium = Canada with it's free beer and medical.
No medical/health care is free, you pay for it by having ridiculously high tax rates.
More like Earth = Syria, Elysium = Europe
Sad but true
Earth = Africa and Elysium = Europe / Australia
We're all in a global shithole
More like Earth=Mexico, Elysium=US
This film deserved a lot more than what it got, the whole premise seems like what our future is turning to, although apart from the poor vs rich in this film, what I really focused on most was Medbay, the device that, despite being a film, is seen to use re-atomize through cellular regeneration to cure any and all illnesses to ailments, which through curiosity and research, I've seen comments from others that 8 years ago, we had a idea of how this could work, and now 8 years away from 2030, we maybe decades, if not years from unlocking the potential of Medbay from this film.
Wagner Moura é o cara do cinema brasileiro! Sucesso! O Brasil ta bem representado.
This is how our future will look when everything goes automated.
Great movie and script, I think that the relativy low succes was because most people didn´t get it, when they go to a theatre to watch a sci-fi movie they just want to see images made by computer and things exploting.
hernanra021 *relatively
*success
Maybe people would like it more if they knew how it feels to live in a shithole, wishing to have an acceptable life standard.
I can't imagine this movie without Matt Damon!
Movies are not made so you can have fun watching it. Its Made to show you your Future☝️
i think one of neill blomkamp's signatures will be that he has to have at least one person explode in his movies.
Plus he must really like Sharlto Copley.
This was a good movie with a great scenario but the ending really felt to me like the director didn't know how to finish what he started so he gave it to a 12 year old to write the ending. Very disappointing for an otherwise very promising movie.
wjatevrr go to bed please
Elysium works 100 % LINUX!
+JUAN ALEX SANCHEZ DODERS lol
This movie is totally amazing
*Fantastic movie.* A grim look into the possibilities of what humanity could become if we continue to be ruled by sick, power hungry 'leaders.' Great use of film techniques and the interrelation between various scenes to create an emotional impact was very well done. *This film drew me right in. 8.5/10*
This comment is so Comunist
Just watched this film and I'm surprised how good it turned out to be. Out of all the scifi movies this is probably the most realestic future they've created compared to trying to reach a planet millions of years away or zombies! Lol
This movie is another masterpiece of director Neill Blomkamp.Elysium and District 9,those are very underrated but great movies.
In my opinion, this is the way we live today. Earth is full of crime, (for us middle class and lower class) rich and famous people live like those in Elysium, (crime, poverty and war seem like a superstition to them) we separate ourselves like this, and no one seems to notice. So I thought I'd do you all a favor and open your eyes, and let the blind see, what our world is like.
agree
Anyone from 2024
2045 here
One of the best films ever made I've watched it multiple times and would 100% watch it again
The times when movies were great...
It was great! Very underraten in my opinion. I loved District 9 as well.
Any one coming from after watching kalki trailer
Such an underrated movie!!!! I so hope they make a sequel to District 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Neill Blomkamp is a visionary director. Blomkamp needs to direct an Aliens' movie as well!
Anyone feel the world right now is becoming this? Rent going up. Massive homeless. Food prices rising. Fuel prices rising. Massive layoffs and strikes. Influx of immigrants at the border trying to cross in. Inflation that seems will never end.
Download kese kre hindi me
All I seen where how illegal immigrants feel entitled to break laws.
@@rbnz3286 lol when will you people realize the government and rich view you and those illegals the same.
Man this movie was awesome ! It one of those that make you fascinating and can't keep ur eye off the screen. 9/10 for me
I can’t believe they made a film about elon musk’s evil plans
Musk evil plan ? Investing in space is evil ???
ELONGATED MUSKRAT IS NOT EVIL, HE IS DADDY and MAKES EPIC CARS
Goosebumps and tears. Very good movie!
2020 with this coronavirus I need to get to Elysium fast
Sophia Francis yahhh
Bill Gates lives there
Anyone in 2024 ❤
😅 no thanks
Day by day, we march closer to this reality.
Anyone notice that Elysium is like Halo, the videogame O_o
Probably because Neil Blomkamp the Director of Elysium was supposed to make the Halo film which was cancelled so they made District 9 instead and This movie was a slap in the face to the people that didn't believe he could make this movie. That is why it resembles Halo.
It more resembles COD advanced warfare
@BlueRazorYT yeah ik but it's true
@@ViperChief117 probably not mate .
I also see a subtle nod to Kubrick's 2001
The ultimate goal of The Great Reset
Liberal socialists after ending up as teen single moms and being warned about it: "I-I believe the fat pedophile rich jews are not here to help...."
HOLY BLYAT!!!! Advanced Warefare got the exo from here!!
Wonderful movie!
Great takeaway:
France--> Elysium
North, Central and West Africa--> Ruined Earth
i was gripped by the story when watching. i truly cared for the characters and needed to see how it would end. its been a while since i watched a movie and was that intrigued
Perfect movie! Not only because of Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 3 reference. But it shows 100% how the immigration works in European Union! Jodie Foster had a point somehow =)!
+Don Mega it shows a whole world that has been affected by uncontrolled immigration. It shows that it doesn't help anyone at the source and harms those in the country everyone is heading to. Like eternal life is going to improve anyones life in an out of control population! I believe it is misinterpreted. I am sure I have read an article by the director that hints towards the malthusian catastrophe depicted in the film....not a positive future as people somehow see in this film. They'll rejoice after destroying elysium, but what next...no one left to blame for their shitty predicament that still remains - but now it's everywhere!
this was so damn good
Yed
ثالث فيلم مهم يبين ما يمكن أن يصير إليه الصراع الطبقي بين الأغنياء و الفقراء في أقصاه .
الفيلم ماكينة الزمن time machine . وفيلم فوق-تحت upside down . وهذا الفيلم اليزيوم elysium .
فإذا كان فيلم ماكينة الزمن يصل فيه الصراع بين الأغنياء المتمكنين و الفقراء المستضعفين إلى أن يصبح الأغنياء مفترسين prédateurs و الفقراء فراءس proies ، فإن هذا الفيلم و الفيلم upside down متشابهين إلى حد كبير حيث أن كل واحدة من الطبقتين تصبح تعيش في كوكب أو عالم خاص بها منفصل ماديا عن العالم أو الكوكب الذي تعيش فيه الاخرى .
Judging by the director I'll say I actually have high hopes for this film. A lot of sci-fi films have been real let-downs lately (Man of Steel being the biggest; without going into detail, I'll just say that my problem with it is that it's essentially an animated feature). This has the potential to be one of the best films of the year.
I saaaw it in 3D At cinema !!! Greeeeeaaaaat movie, no regret
Yes
2020 corona lockdown..Time to watch this
*Matt Damon = Serious Actor*
ey, we got the exactly same Situation here in Germany!
If people do not believe population can be an issue, then this movie will come true. Also diversity is overrated, it can be beautiful only if people have the same basic value.
Educate Nick Cannon and other men
if anyone is cod fan, the armor they use is from advanced warfare. #exo-suit
Benedict Mariano Actually, the armor they used in AW is from Elisyum
fucking idiots
It's the perfect role for Jodie Foster. No acting required.
Eminem suppose to be in the lead role in the movie not Matt Damon. The reason why eminem refuse to play the lead role because the movie wasn't film in Detroit and that's where eminem lives. In fact eminem chose Matt Damon to play the lead role.
Eminem can't act for shit. He is shit.
Ismi Hyder his acting was good in 8 mile, and he is one of the best rappers
JovanFB His acting wasn't good in that. It only seemed that way because it's basically his life story, and that's why he hasn't been in anything else worth mentioning. Also his rap music is crap.
There hasn't been any good rap since OG Snoop's shit from back in the day.
Don Mega I thought Matt Damon was pretty good as Jason Bourne but nothing else. Did you not like those movies either? just wondering
It's 2154. Poor people overpopulated the Earth and turned it into garbage.
Rich people left the Earth to live peacefully in outer space.
Poor people try to illegally squat in Elysium.
Damn squatters!
you're worth less than a pile of shit
Well, he does have a point.
and people still listed to 142 year old music
rafarga1980 You actually have a point ^_^
+rafarga1980 You sir have just pissed off all the professional squatters out there, including jobless adult bums who still live and squat in their parents homes. Hehehe.
This movie is a prophecy
1:30 reminds me of the robot Chappie.
In the upcoming movie.
Yeah it does
AWESOME MOVIE
This is essentially cyberpunk 2154
Anyone 2024❤
We are here.
Fun fact: Eminem was the one who was supposed to play the lead role in this movie.
In Elysium the movie takes place in year 2054. Life on Earth in Los Angeles looks like most of the citizens are refugees in what was a war zone. In the movie the Robots are programmed to manage the humans.
Above Earth’s atmosphere Elysium is a large spacecraft with a large population of humans living in a civilized utopian habitat.
Max is a parolee laborer in Los Angeles. Max accidentally gets exposed to a lethal amount of radiation at work and is given five days to live. Max bargains with a hacker who smuggles people in spacecrafts to Elysium where there are life saving medical bays.
There are a lot of violent shoot outs between citizens of Earth and robots and a fight over organic brain data with the potential to overthrow the Government of Elysium
I liked it😲
